Aliso Viejo, Calif., July 3, 2007 -- Spatial Wave (formerly the products division of DCSE) has worked closely with Vallacitos Water District to implement Field Mapplet/USA to provide full support of VWD's Underground Service Alert (USA) workflow. The USA process is also known as "one-call" or "call before you dig" and is Field Mapplet's complete out of the box solution for this workflow. Field Mapplet is Spatial Wave's GIS enabled workflow management framework and can be configured to support any number of office/field workflows.

Field Mapplet/USA receives VWD's USA tickets from the Southern California Dig Alert center and utilizes spatially enabled rules, allocating tickets into queues and determining proximity to VWD facilities. Vallecitos's USA locators connect to their queue to upload completed tickets and download new tickets. Locators view ticket information, enter actions and comments and are able to quickly zoom to the ticket location and view detailed street or facility maps. Ticket information is stored in a database for archival, query and reporting.

Field Mapplet/USA provides VWD with a single application framework to manage USA tickets from origination to archive. "This product saves me a lot of time by pre-screening the tickets that are all-clear" said Alan Mast, lead locator for VWD. Improvements in the efficiency of the USA workflow will support the demands that rapid development is placing on the locators within the District.
